F R I D A Y - F R Y - U P : A R L E N E - G O T T F R I E D “From my window on New York City’s Lower East Side I could look out and see the Puerto Rican culture I encountered over 30 years earlier, around the same time I began photographing. One night I heard a street vendor on the corner of Avenue C and East 3rd Street calling, ‘bacalaitos and fireworks;’ bacalaitos, a fried cod fish indigenous to Puerto Rico, and fireworks, for the Fourth of July weekend. This juxtaposition became etched in my mind — representative of an immigrant population on the streets of America.” — Arlene Gottfried on her series Bacalaitos and Fireworks, documenting the wave of Puerto Rican immigration to America in 1970′s - 1980′s NY. Arlene Gottfried’ Bacalaitos and Fireworks is now showing at Daniel Cooney Fine Art in New York, do what we can’t and go see it.
